Soros Money Flips Virginia CA Elections:  Progressive democrat primary candidates for Commonwealth Attorney (CA) in Arlington and Fairfax Counties in Virginia beat the less progressive incumbents thanks to big bucks from large out-of-state billionaire George Soros.  Adam Shaw of Fox News and the Associated Press report that neither Soros-backed candidate for the top prosecutor job in those counties has ever prosecuted a case in a state court, while the incumbents had 60 years of experience between them.  While both counties are quite liberal, both incumbents, Theo Stamos and Raymond Morrough, opposed giving voting rights to felons.  Along with sentencing reform (read sentencing reduction), both Soros-backed candidates Parisa  Dehghani-Tafti and Steve Descano supported felon voting.  Dehghani-Tafti's campaign received $583,000 from the Soros-funded Justice and Public Safety PAC, while Descano received $392,000.  This is huge money for a county prosecutor's race. The Stamos and Morrough campaigns raised a total of $162,000 and $242,000 respectively.  Over the last two election cycles, Soros has spent millions of dollars to purchase elections for pro-defendant progressives as District Attorneys and Sheriffs in California, Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Texas, and New Mexico.
